“By reducing the activity of one type of gene, scientists said they increased the average life span of mice by about 20 percent, a feat that in human terms is akin to extending life by about 15 years.”

Dr. James Fleming begins with a survey of the importance of archaeology as a confirmation of the validity of the Bible. He then focuses on the Dead Sea Scrolls, explaining why they should be considered the most important archaeological discovery of the 20th Century. Shifting his attention to Jerusalem, he explains the significance of his discovery of the ancient Eastern Gate in 1969 — the gate that existed at the time of Jesus. He concludes by discussing a wide range of archaeological issues, like the location of the Jewish Temple, the site of the crucifixion and burial of Jesus, and the disposition of the Ark of the Covenant.

How did people live in the time of Jesus? In a radically different way from today, and thus it is often difficult to understand biblical stories without a knowledge of the culture of the time. Dr. James Fleming, considered to be one of Christendom’s foremost experts on biblical archaeology, shares that knowledge in these four programs:

“We are able to suggest that your friend tag you in a picture by scanning and comparing your friend’s pictures to information we’ve put together from your profile pictures and the other photos in which you’ve been tagged.”

“If the reports are accurate, Mr. O will start another war on Friday. I greatly fear there will be global turbulence very soon if the West goes forward with its plans. It appears a spirit of insanity has overtaken many leaders of nations around the world. They are being driven by Satan to start World War III. Why? Because Satan has come to kill, steal, and destroy. It is what he loves doing all day long: Killing innocent people. Stealing everything that means something to them. And destroying everything that is good and decent and pure.This ministry has been given the assignment of reporting the countdown to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. God willing, I will be broadcasting from some location when Jesus returns or I take my last breath.” – Rick Wiles

“Any technique that gives us ‘something like a brain’ that we can modify, work on, and watch as it develops, just has to be exciting. If the authors are right – that their ‘brain in a bottle’ develops in ways that mimic human brain development – then the potential for studying developmental diseases is clear.”

“It scrupulously gathers performance data on it each of its temps, with the goal of being able to better match them with future gigs. It tracks how long it takes a person to respond to a job alert on their app–too slow and you ding your rating. It tracks the GPS on a temp’s phone see how long they spend on a job and takes that into account in measuring his or her productivity. It analyzes customer surveys, naturally, but it also evaluates how much complexity a person can handle on a project before they seek help.”

“Molecular biologists have long dreamed of being able to manipulate DNA in living cells with ease and precision, and by now that dream is nearly a reality. TALE-based designer proteins, introduced just a few years ago, are arguably the most user-friendly and precise DNA-directed tools that have yet been invented.”

“And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.” – Genesis 11:6
